Successfully launched among a great crowd on 24 September in the Spark Room
at Tūranga Christchurch Central Library, Cathedral Square, (see more photos) by Morrin Rout, Director of The Hagley Writers' Institute.
Brief words from the publisher, Karen Zelas, more erudite and entertaining words from Joanna Preston, the editors of this collection.
Like a well-oiled machine, many of the poets came up to the podium and read one of their poems from the anthology – such wide variation of subject, style and voice, poems complementing each other in extraordinary ways.
Everyone helped make the evening a success, with willing helpers, such as Jeni Curtis, Janet Wainscott and husband John on the sales table, too many chair shifters to name, contributors of food for sharing, notably Irena Tojcic's delicious apple cake.
Our sincere thanks to Creative Communities Christchurch for their financial support in the publication of this anthology, and to Tūranga and the Christchurch City Council for providing the launch venue.
